House Build week 2: Locked out!

It's official.

- We've paid a small fortune for the land.
- Paid a hefty chunk of money to the builder.
- Paid the Excavator.
- Paid the Telstra man to re-bury some cables that should have been buried deeper in the first case.

Now what is happening? The security fencing has gone up. We are now no longer allowed on-site without permission and supervision of the site supervisor. It's our project but his territory! We have been warned:

1: Be nice to the supervisor.
2: Keep on his good side and
3: NEVER ask him....

"When will the house be finished?"
"Can you even guess?"
"Can you hurry it up?"

We met the supervisor this week. We were very nice to him. All was going well. We were just about to say goodbye when I just couldn't help myself.

I blurted out....

"When will the house be finished?"
"Can you even guess?"
"Can you hurry it up?"

Not a great beginning! Byron has banned me from opening my mouth on-site again!
